  • 5What a blast and excellent company to guide us!

    We had an amazing time on our experience. We did the Sheep Horn, beginner level rafting as we had our 13 year old with us, celebrating his bday. We loved that it was a small business and we didn't need to wait for a bunch of ppl as a group. They did a great job with check in and getting everyone ready. Lots of humor and thorough explanations to keep everyone safe. Brice was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable in his craft and also the history of the town and river. He did a great job giving directions and instructions and we had a ton of fun with him on the river. Will definitely do this again if we come back to Colorado!

  • 5Highly recommend

    Our guide Brice was impressive and this small outfit far outweighs the larger outfits all trying to cram in and outdo. Couldn’t be happier and we’ll be back for a third year no doubt.

  • 5Highly Recommend!

    This is our second year in a row with Brice and team- the first was the full day Gorge, and this one we took our two kids on the half day. We couldn’t trust a guide any more than we do Brice- he’s also funny and goes out of his way to make sure we have a good time. Highly recommend the crew at Cañon City! We’ll be back again!

    Excellent experience with Kurt, a phenomenal and fun guide. He expertly guided us through some very tight areas, as the river is low. We had a great time and Highly recommended!

About Cañon City

Cañon City is a Colorado town on the Arkansas River below the Royal Gorge, with a high suspension bridge, dinosaur fossil sites and whitewater nearby.

Cañon City lies on the Arkansas River where it leaves the mountains, at about 1,600 metres, with its streets of brick Victorian buildings and a collection of prisons that earned it a reputation as a prison town. One of them, the former women's prison, is now a museum of Colorado's prison history.
